I wish they had a true shuffle 😔

Because my playlist has thousands of songs yet I hear the same ones a lot, their algorithm weights songs it thinks you like to be more common in the shuffle

I wish they’d bring the ‘Dislike’ button back. 😔

I wish they brought manually selecting songs back to the free version. 😔

It is a thing on PC

Also on tablets. That made no sense to me. Both are running Android, only the DPI is different.

Yeah, they have all this money and the algorithms are getting more stupid. I hate it when saying “play Travis” (I use voice commands in car) always plays the exact same playlist in the exact same order. They also push the most popular songs on you so if a band you like did a shitty Barbie cover you will hear it all the time. And there’s no dislike button to get rid of it. On my phone I just play custom playlists because the algorithms suck so much.

I can’t understand why people pay for this shit - how is that any better than the radio??
(I still go the cheapskate route and maintain my own library)

No commercials
Better selection of music
Only listen to songs you like
Ability to skip tracks
Ability to listen to whatever you want vs what someone else decides for you
How long of a list are you looking for because this could take all day…

I haven’t been at the whim of spotify’s bullshit algorithm since years ago when I just stopped playing their radio at all. Maybe I’ll hear one or two songs when the album m listening to ends and I haven’t had a chance to pick what’s next, but I don’t rely on their bullshit. Every song I play I’ve chosen to play.
Look at me, stickin it to the man.

I just want a fuckin star rating system. I want winamp but with Spotify library.
coden1ke@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I want the same! To try to make due I made a Playlist for each star category.

I wish removing a song from my Discover weekly or similar lists actually worked. I swear I remove the same song from that playlist for months and it still shows up.

There is one if you use the discovery features. Well, it’s not a dislike, but I think it does the same thing, maybe?
